Soup Can Label Template
Soup can label templates need the soup's name, the net weight in ounces and grams, Nutrition Facts based on 1 cup (245 g), an ingredient list that includes what is in your broth, an allergen statement and your name and address. Watch the can size: a can holding less than twice that amount (490 g) is labeled as one serving, the whole can.
